baiziN AROUND • / Retiring WHS basketball coach Vera Zurcher, as part of his swan song at the athletic bariquet last Monday night, had this to say: "General Douglas McArthur once said. ‘Old soldiers- never die. they just fade away'. "I’ve learned doctors never die. they just lose patients; bankers never die. they just lose interest; chiropractors never die. they just fail to adjust; and that old coaches never die. they just dribble away.” i At the WHS awards presentation at the gym Friday afternoon. it was noted that Dave Elliott and Susie iVeager) Smith each had a perfect attendance record for their four years of high school. Well known Writer Kevin Phillips recently Wrote this in a syndicated article; -- "Perhaps the Red Chinese are now smiling at us across the pingpong because they have successfully intervened in Viet Nam. There is evidence that Peking's probable wcap<»n —a recent massive infusion of highgrade heroin to "blow the minds" of Gls — has had devastating effects, not just in Viet Nam but in the United States, where veterans are being drawn to crime to support expensive drug habits. "Shortly after the 1970 invasion of Cambodia Wrecked Communist ability to undertake further military offensives, the Reds switched to a drug offensive Large quantities of heroin began arriving in Viet X%m It came through the Saigon docks, and at first was available only in That I city Uniform packaging and refining indicated a single. Highly-organized source, moreover, one that was willing to forego profit in return for widespread distribution. Pure heroin (which costs $40,000 an ounce in the U’;S.!» is being sold throughout Viet Nam at prices far below those which our wellpaid troops ciould afford The motive therefore, is not profit but addiction of Gls.” Could this not. in reality, be the real peril of our w ar in Viet Nam? John Schnabel, a candidate for his doctorate at Notre Dame university. South Bend, has been a filL-in pastor at the Syracuse Grace Lutheran church, and his dissertations have been widely acclaimed by (parishioners of that church One parishioner commented: “You have to listen to every word, he's so interesting and meaningful."; Next Sunday will be his last Sunday in the pulpit.

The Lakeland area attracted two prominent speakers for Memorial Day services. At Milford. Dr. Otis R. Bowen of Bremen gave an excellent talk. Dr Bowen has been speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives for two terms, was a candidate for Governor and most certainly will be a candidate for Governor next time around At Syracuse, the talk at the cemetery was by John Etsinger of Goshen. Department of Indiana. Veterans of Foreign Wars. Maurice Hughes, in Syracuse for the Memorial week end. is anticipating a change in jobs, from the Bloomington. 111., area to Chicago.

He arrived in town in a sleek, low-slung Datsun The Syracuse police department is indebted to Johnny Kimble and Forrest Cook for a new glass shield that divides the front and back seat of their new police car. When the need for this safetyshield became known. Kimble and Cook quickly came up with funds for the purchase If you saw the tape measure running along town streets last week, seems it belongs to a NIPSCo group measuring town gas lines. It is hoped by; many that town board members will include Chicago street for SR 13 to the high school in their review of town streets needing repairs If you have not traveled this route lately, you might be in for a surprise. The Syracuse high school alumni was received with enthusiasm and 240 reservations Saturday night at the school gym. o Much concern was expressed, however, when principal Charles Haffner asked removal of some of the older cherished trophies in display cases at the school to make room for proper displaying of new ones received each year.

Beck, to come up with a solution on the matter but general feelings expressed by a number in attendance at the alumni felt an arrangement could and should be made to keep the trophies at the school building. Traffic was so heavy for the holiday week end, motorists found a long wait at times to cross intersections and the lakes were alive with boats, skiers and fishermen when the latter dared to venture to their desired fishing holes. The community was saddened, however, with a number of accidents and one fatality in a three-vehicle crash at the north edge of Syracuse The cute little Chalet for Chalet Realty, Inc., arrived on schedule last week and manv’Ttirious persons were seen peeking in it’s windows. The well designed little Tiger Minature Golf several miles south of Syracuse held it’s grand opening the past week end with enthusiasm from young and old alike Congenial hosts are Dan and Marie Somers. A small fire in a portion of the grill at Earl’s Case Monday morning did slight damage and restricted some of their breakfast serving until faithful NIPSCo made the needed repairs. One of the loveliest new buildings, inside and out, has to be the new Liquor Locker at the south section of town and the electric door openers are a jewel. This week saw the plumbing building along the main thoroughfare in North Webster, occupied for years by Payne & Metcalf Plumbing, come down, as did the little building back of the bank, formerly a grille, to make way for the new Farmers State Bank (to be known as the Counting House), and the Palace of Sports Graduates From Recruit Training One hundred twenty-seven fulltime Goshen college students were named to the dean's list for high academic performance during the winter trimester, which ended in April.

& THE EDITOR

Thanks From School

Dear Mr. Baumgartner and Staff: We at Wawasee high school wish to thank you for the very fine coverage you have given our school during the present school year. We feel we have had a very successful school year and are already looking forward to an even better school year in 1971-72.

Tax Increase In Disguise

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Syracuse industrialist Paul A. Levernier. perturbed at governmental tax regulations, wrote the following letter to the state board of tax commissioners, and asked The Mail-Journal to print it.) Gentlemen: Pardon me for getting my dander up. "but when the devil are you people going to quit?" First you go thru an ungodly reevaluation of all property in which you as much as triple some evaluations. Next the county raises the rates. Now you come along with a foolish so to speak, piece by piece evaluation of business equipment. Os course, you will say, "this is not a tax increase.” But just howmuch do you think the companies of Indiana are going to have to pay C.P.A.’s to get all of this information. This is only for tax purposes; this is a tax increase. A few years ago you came up with a stupid idea of not accepting a March Ist physical inventory and caused us to have our C.P.A.’s go back and calculate year end inventory plus purchases less sales to arrive at a March Ist inventory. This item alone says you are a long way from business men

because by far tye most accurate inventory available is an actual physical inventory. The public is getting tired of government’s inconsiderate demands for more and more and more clerical work just to satisfy the desires of the immediate man in charge. I for one would suggest the government operate a little like an individual or business for awhile and live on its own normal income instead of deciding what it wants to spend and then setting its income by taxing the people of the country to death. You as an individual must fit your spending to your income and not your income to your spending. Just a little more of the last fewyears of “tax ’em to death" operations by the Local. State and Federal governments could very well bring about the greatest tax revolution this country has ever seen or dared dream of. Oh yes. many people think their taxes are lower this year, but they forget they went to the license bureau and paid out a chunk for excise tax on their automobiles. Put this back on the property tax bill where people

can see it and you would hear plenty of screaming. f Yours sincerely, Paul A. Levernier, Pres. Custom Crest Car Pdts. Inc. Capt. John Rhoades Receives Flying Cross Award Army Captain John W. Rhoades, 25. son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest F. Rhoades of r 1 Pierceton. recently received his third award of the distinguished flying cross in Viet Nam.

Congress established the medal in 1926 after warfare in the air was proven to be a reliable tactic in World-War I. Capt. r Rhoades received the award while assigned as assistant operations officer in the 334th aviation company, 3rd squadron of the 17th air cavalry near Phu Loi.
